DH and I, have gone through thousands of names; there's loads of names we like, but only 2 we both agree on! :(

DD is Olivia Autumn and our LN is Stephens...

So, Ryan or Teddy?

Please don't suggest longer forms, for Teddy, it's just going to be Teddy.

I find Ryan quite dated. Teddy is lovely. Edward is on my list of baby names, & I would shorten it to Teddy when they were a baby, then maybe Ted or Ed as they got older.

Ryan is one of my most favourite boys names but sounds silly with my surname so I'll never use it.

There are sooooo many Teddy's around at the moment but if you were to choose it please register as Theodore or Edward with Teddy as the nn.

I think Teddy stops being cute at about 3 and there are so many of them.

Prefer Ryan.

Ryan is a bit chavtastic and Teddy isn't a real name - sorry not very helpful

Ryan. Not my favourite, but Teddy is simply cruel imo.

Your DD has a lovely elegant name and Teddy is the name of an infant's toy.
